On the contrary. Starting on the very next day after her graduation (where she sheds some crocodile tears), she’ll probably become a lot more active on her blog. She’s then mainly going to be active as a YouTuber and NicoNico streamer. She’s going to become more annoying than ever before — there’s no time for us to feel any sort of loss. (laughs)

Fun fact: this thread is inspired by Maro’s appearance on this show. Maro herself pictures BLACK ROOM being a show where, when interviewing the sound supervising staff for example, she’d ask them questions like “be honest: which members slack off the most when it comes to singing?” The show would be pay-to-watch — Maro wants to monetize it. Whereas GREEN ROOM has those little bits between corners of members saying things like “I love you” or “I’m so happy,” in BLACK ROOM they would be saying things like “I’m so bored,” “go home” or “I’m so pissed off” — she imagines girls like Suzuki Airi and Miyamoto Karin saying these phrases. She thinks the show should be uploaded every week exactly at the same time as GREEN ROOM. At the end of her monologue, one of the hosts clarifies to the audience that Maro is, indeed, completely sober.

Maro also mentions that there’s a staff member (Hashimoto Shin) who’s actually said they would want to make BLACK ROOM a reality.

Ahhh…
I feel lonely already.
To think that such an unsung hero would graduate at 20…

Not feeling shy about showing one’s bad parts, undesirable parts and parts people may find comical is a good thing, but she would never say that herself. Could it be that we totally misunderstood her? Could it be that Maro was actually a pretty amazing person after all…?

I never wanted want to see this side of Maro.

Don’t quit…

@kanonfukuda:
This one girl who became an idol because she was inspired by me told me that she couldn’t come to my graduation concert because she was busy performing her own idol concert that day. But isn’t that in a way quite wonderful in itself? That girl, too, has made her dream come true!

It’s from this point on that this girl’s scumminess will truly come to full bloom. And that’s something to look forward to.

63: 名無し募集中。。。 2015/12/01(火) 01:21:32.02 0.netThis is the true beginning of Maro’s life.

Henkka: The final chapter in the story of this girl and her beloved “disinterested, attention-loving, self-hating, pain-in-the-ass, neurotic seal idol” character. But was it all just an elaborate act to hide the fact that she was, in truth, an angel? Did she have us fooled all this time?

We may never know… but I’m glad I was in for the ride. Because what a Marotesque ride it was.

Wow. She definitely seems to elicit a reaction from fans. For me, when it comes to that group, it’s Tamura, Takeuchi and Rikako. I try to always keep my idol thoughts positive; there’s enough negativity in life.
I could have done a handshake with Maro in March my last day in Shibuya, but I decided to go to the onsen instead. Had I seen Maro, I may have left Japan feeling very cold. ;)

Black Room sounds like it would be more interesting than any of the shows HP is doing now. As for the rest, well no HP idol has puzzled me as much as Maro. Right up until the very end I still don’t quite know what to make of her.

well… she’s a human being… I always loved her voice and her unique aura on stage… I never cared for her personality and to be honest – I think she’s a nice girl who liked to play with her fans… that’s all there is to her… nobody knows an idol’s real character if she doesn’t want to open herself in front of the whole fanbase…

Halfway through this thread, I was so pissed at how… annoying she can be all this time lol. It feels like she wanted to line-up with the kinds of Sayu and Momochii, but kind of fail because such role actually requires “brains”. The character somewhat grew awkward and messed-up. So she just got stuck with it on the end, because there’s no other way she can elaborate on it, or scale it up.

I don’t like her lyrics either.

I’m sorry Maro.

— i feel sorry for being so cruel to her that I have to say “I’m sorry Maro” then it hits me as that this must be one of her elaborated plans too. to incite hate. ugh. i don’t know. Bye Maro, to think seriously of you makes me head ache.

I don’t think so. Bakuwara does have a little bit of Maro’s “skill” at handling wota and making odd comments, but Rinapuu does not have the attitude as Kanyon, specifically Rina doesn’t think that she’s this earth shaking socially significant idol like Kanon does.

Nor would Takeuchi Akari be a good replacement either. Even though Oden seems to be an easy target (strange fashion choices, non-traditional idol body, outrageous comments, overstated vibrato (goat-chan), comparisons to her much more highly regarded cousin), Takechan is kind of bullet proof since she is very unpretentious and blue collar.

I was laughing my ass off, especially 53: 名無し募集中。。。 2015/06/17(水) 14:10:03.91 0.net
Once she graduates, she’s probably going to evolve from a seal to a walrus in no time. Three months later, she’ll be a sea lion. Hilarous

Reading the other posts about Maro in wotaintranslation, I started to hate her and even was anxious about her graduation just because of it. Well, I don’t know exactly why, but I never liked her, to be honest. But reading the end of this post… I’m feeling kinda guilty now. I’m gonna miss that seal face (I started to find it kinda cute). And I liked the Medley idea.

She was truly scum but lovable scum.
It wasn’t an act. At least not the majority of it.
Those thin fox eyes speak volumes on her personality.
Watch ayacho and her interacting in a hello time episode
. she is like a 40year old seasoned vet. Like a bitter woman
